Chancroid is an acute localized, autoinoculable venereaI disease caused by Haemophilus ducreyi, characterized clinicaIly by painful ulceration at the site of incubation, and frequently accompanied by regional lymphadenopathy, and short incubation period. Three cases of chancroid were seen in Won Ju city, Kangwondo, Korea. All of the patients were male, and painful ulcers developed on genital region in 2 to 3 days after sexual contacts. Direct smear showed the characteristic "school-of-fish" arrangement of Haemophilus ducreyi by Gram stain. There were no regional lymphadenopathies and VDRL test were negative. Treatments were done with sulfisoxazole (Gantrisin) in case I, with sulfamethoxydiazine(Bayrena) and streptomycin in case 2, and with sulfamethoxydiazine and tetracycline in case 3 with exccllent results.

The author performed an experiment to measure the bonding strength of acrylic bone cement when the bonding surfaces of bones were under various conditions; namely different axial compression forces and different means of preservation of bones, in the air and in Hartman's solution. Mechanical tests for compression forces revealed that the bonding strength was greatest when the bonding surfaces were dry, being weaker when soaked with alcohol and whole blood, in that order. When different strengths of axial compression forces were applied, the bonding strength was greatest at 5 kg of compression force, being weaker at 3 kg and 1 kg, in that order. The bonding strength was greater when the bones were preserved in the air than in Hartman's solution.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is known to be a neoplasm of the major and minor salivary glands but it also occurs in the lacrimal gland, external auditory canal, easphagus, breast and skin. Adenoid cystic carcinoma of salivary gland is a slow-growin nalignant tumor. Although metastasis of this tumor clevelnps in about half the cases, its meta taes to the overlying skin is not common, moreover the skin metastasis to the remote site is raely found. Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma is rare and histologically indistingisl able from skin metastasis of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary gland. A 53 year-old man presented a solitary, well defined, erythen at us, 1.3 x 1.3cm sized nodule on the vertex of the scalp, which revealed the typical histopatholog ndings of adenoid cystic carcinoma. One and half years ago, a tumor of the parotid gland va removed and proved to be a cribriform pattern of adenoid cystic carcinoma. The skin lesion was diaghosed as a skin metastasis of the alenoid cystic carcinoma of parotid gland rather than a primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinona because a similar pattern of adenoid cystic carcinorom had been discovered on the parotidg an l although it developed on the scalp, the usual site of primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinama.
